    I'm torn as to which pack of these tip rats I want to win.

    An absolute throw by Cripps when tackled, in Richmond forward line – no free. Some players are untouchable.

    Too late. I’m a lost cause. At this point even an exorcism wouldn’t do it.

    If we had a Harry McKay we’d be sitting at 12-1.

    And we would be a very complete side. But in that bizzaro world, Weid would have won the Coleman 3 years running.

    Tigers 8 points behind us with zero injuries

    Imagine how much Carlton would have lost by if the maggots bothered to pick up the throws

    So how long do the boys get off this week? Hopefully they use it to have a good rest & stay out of any trouble.

    I noticed de goey went to Bali. Interesting decision.

    Both of tonight’s sides look like they’d have us covered at the moment.

    People keep saying we haven’t beaten anyone. In fact, we took Richmond apart in everything except the size of the winning margin - because we kicked so inaccurately. We were miles better than them.

    Maybe but atm we are not playing the same brand of football

    I watched this game with a lot of interest and there were three very stark differences to the way we play atm

    1. A willingness to run and carry moving the ball forward as quickly as possible

    2. Effective tall forwards that if they don’t mark bring the ball to ground so their small forwards can go to work 

    3. Consistent pressure acts when not in possession meaning opposition has less time to dispose effectively 

    I don’t think the way we’ve played over the last month or so we’d beat either of those sides last night which is obviously a big concern because they are both lapping at our heals 

    Lets hope we regain some form and fast 

    It would be great if BB and Weid watched how physical the tall forwards were in this game - I don’t think they have it in them to replicate that but it would be nice if they could

    As I've posted several times before, I don't understand why the commentators don't call this out. More relevant than most of their air filling.

    AFL directive not to criticise umpires?

    If it looks like a throw acts like a throw, then it is a throw.

    Except when it's Carlton doing it.

    Or Bulldogs, Cats, Eagles to mention a few other perennial offenders.

    Yes we are only 2 games ahead of teams like Richmond and Collingwood. This is what happens when you lose 3 on the bounce, very much not ideal no matter what the excuse. 

  • Quote

    If Cats, Saints and Sydney win their games vs Eagles, Ess and Port by even a couple of goals, Carlton will go from 4th to 7th by tomorrow night.

    When you watch a game like last night's, it's confusing because you think that your team is be adjudicated by a different set of rules.Take for example pushing into fence. MFC game, free straight away. Arguing with umpire free straight away. Going off the mark before play on, err forgot to blow whistle free and 50 straight away.  Yet we all saw those being flaunted.

    No one puts any attention into Jayden Short. Nearly 1000 metres gained tonight.

    Happens all the time for some reason.

    Winners at last please tell me you thought Crisp's handball to Cox for his goal on Monday was a throw. I just want to find one person that agrees with me on this 😝

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
